Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Dallas Stars Predictions

The Dallas Stars have had a solid start to the season, with a 4-1-1 record, and are currently ranked 5th in the conference and 2nd in the division. Despite suffering their first regulation loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs recently, the Stars have shown promise, particularly with their centerman Joe Pavelski leading the team in both goals and assists. However, slow starts have been an issue for Dallas, which has yet to hold a lead after the first period and has scored only two goals in the opening frame. They’ve also struggled on the power play, with just two goals on 18 opportunities, a success rate that ranked among the bottom four in the NHL.

On the other side, the Columbus Blue Jackets have had a slower start to the season with a 3-3-2 record. They are currently on a 3-game losing streak, including a 2-0 setback against the New York Islanders. Despite this, the team has shown offensive potential, pumping 190 shots on goal over its past five games. Boone Jenner and Jack Roslovic have been standout performers for the Blue Jackets, leading the team in goals and points respectively. However, the team will need to improve their decision-making on the attack to increase their scoring chances.

The game is likely to be a battle of defenses, with both teams having strong shot-blocking abilities. The key player matchup to watch will be between the Stars’ Joe Pavelski and the Blue Jackets’ Boone Jenner, both leading their respective teams in goals. The outcome of the game could very well hinge on which of these players manages to break through the opposition’s defense.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Dallas Stars Pick

Based on the recent performance and current form of both teams, the Dallas Stars seem to be the safer bet for this matchup. Despite their recent loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Stars have shown a strong start to the season with a 4-1-1 record. Their centerman, Joe Pavelski, has been in excellent form, leading the team in both goals and assists. The Stars’ strong defensive play, particularly their shot-blocking abilities, will also be a key factor in this game. Although they have struggled on the power play, their overall performance has been solid, and they are expected to bounce back from their recent loss.

On the other hand, the Columbus Blue Jackets have had a slower start to the season and are currently on a 3-game losing streak. Despite their offensive potential, they have struggled with decision-making on the attack, which has limited their scoring chances. While the Blue Jackets have historically performed well against the Stars, their current form suggests that they may struggle in this matchup. Therefore, considering the odds and recent trends, betting on the Dallas Stars’ moneyline seems to be the right pick for this game.

The Pick: Dallas Stars -265. (BetRivers)
